The Chain Stitch and Cover Stitch can easily be removed. Trim the chain tail to edge of fabric and
the "end" of the seam and pull on the chain looper thread on underside of the fabric. This will give
you the opportunity to "Unsew" an incorrect seam very easily.
To secure the chain stitch or cover stitch, at the end of the seam, bring the needle thread(s) to the
back of the fabric and tug on the needle threads to secure the seam.
The cover stitch needle threads may also be tied to prevent raveling of the stitch.
T
o secure the beginning of the Cover stitching the thread tail can be brought around to the front of
the needles and caught into the cover stitching. (This technique is not for chain stitch)
